This is the gear that my son and I use when we go out. The Raider and the 1911A1 are his and the rest are mine. I'm a dirty, gun/gear whore and I know it! Sorry the post is kind of long, wanted to give a full description.
-Elite Force 1911A1
-Elite Force 1911 TAC For this I want to get one of those Zoxna rail mounted 40 BB micro grenade launchers. Not milsim, but seems like it would be a ton of fun.
Echo1 MTC3 For all you space gat lovers. Sights are the Evike flip-up Rhino sights I too have one! The Paracord on the stock is holding the butt plate in. My first time out with it, I was changing the battery and the bolt slipped out of my hand and fell into the gravel in a darkened room. I came up with this little contraption which uses tension to hold the butt plate in. There is a single line of paracord going through where the bolt once sat. Works great and looks cool to me.
Matrix M3 3-round Burst pump action Ol' Reliable in the flesh. I stripped off the top rail and rear sights so it fits in my scabbard.
My gear (the one in the helmet) -Avengers Airflow Type Helmet. It was originally Dark Earth, the paint job is only half way through. -Shemagh
-Phantom Interceptor Plate Carrier Hotter than hell. Great for rainy/ cool weather though. And very comfortable. I have a double shingle and single shingle, double M4 mag pouches. And a crotch protector... - Condor OASIS Hydration Carrier. A life saver. -Rothco Combat Suspenders (you actually can't really see them in any of the photo's) Honestly if you are shaped like me, look into these. They keep everything up! -Some generic brand combat belt. I have my TACO pouch, pistol mag pouch, Lancer Tactical Drop Leg holster and dump pouch on this. I also have a Bianchi inner belt as well. -5.11 8” Tactical boots.
My son's gear (He wears mostly the same stuff I do, I find whatever is cheap and just buy 2 typically)
-Matrix Striker Helmet The field requires children below a certain age have full face protection that covers their ears. He liked this better than a paintball mask. Because his face is hard to see on the field, it actually makes him pretty intimidating looking. I have a Striker V1 and Striker Gen2 that I switch between, depending on what head gear I want to run.
-Empire padded paintball shirt. He loves it. Gives him a little more protection.
I honestly don't remember what brand boots he is wearing. Nor do I remember the gloves or the eye pro makers. The gloves and my current eye protection (pic with helmet) were bought at the field. I switched eye pro after the arm that held the strap into place broke on my old set.
